Whenprintingbegins,JobManagersendssevenslicestotheEdenprinter.
ThisisthestandardbufferbetweentheJobManagerandtheprinter.As
eachsliceisprinted,theJobManagersendsanotherslicetotheprinter.
Dependingonthesizeofthemodel(s)tobeproduced,printingcantake
betweenseveralhourstoseveraldays.Aslongasthereisenoughmodel
andsupportmaterialinthesupplycartridges,printingproceeds
automaticallyuntilthejobisfinished.
Resuming Production After Printing has Stopped
Iftheprintingprocessisinterruptedforanyreason,JobManagerstops
sendingslicestotheEdenprinter.
To continue printing the model:
1. Switchtheprintertoonlinemodebyclickingtheredbuttonatthe
bottomoftheEdenprinterinterface(seefigure 7‐3onpage 3).
Thebuttonchangesfromredtogreen(seefigure 7‐4onpage 5).
